It's a move of desperation, because he's going to lose.

It is the worst destruction that the panhandle has seen for however long that I've been living. It's akin, Anderson, to Hurricane Andrew back in 1992, south of Miami, where everything was leveled.

But the only good news is that the weather ended up being beautiful. No rain, clear skies. So as long as FEMA can get the blue tarps in, so that people can patch their roofs and most every roof has a leak or a hole, then they can secure…

In Mexico Beach specifically, the answer is no. There's not going to be there. They basically had to evacuate although I talked to a fellow who rode out the storm on a second floor and his windows did not break.

I just want to say that this is a big one. When you get above 100 miles an hour, the destructive force goes up exponentially.

I want to say kudos to you because the assets that we have authorized in this committee, an overhead for NOAA, as well as the second airplane that flies at 40 to 45,000 feet which has dramatically improved the National Hurricane Center's…

We view these recent engagements as part of a continuum of activity to help the retail industry develop best practices on data privacy and security matters.

Hurricane Michael is bee-lining toward the Florida Panhandle and already making its presence felt.

Mr. Chairman, again, under your leadership in this committee, I will be retuning to the panhandle of Florida.

the Senate is going to vote shortly on legislation called the FAA bill. It addresses the concerns of air travelers across the country. The bill before us has some key safety and security aviation measures. We have worked across the aisle…

I was necessarily absent for the October 1, 2018, vote on motion to invoke cloture on the motion to concur in the House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 302, long-term FAA reauthorization. I would have voted yea…

The idea of this law is to try to make a positive difference in the lives of young athletes all across this country.

We failed the athletes. The system failed them. Responsible adults turned a blind eye and allowed predators to commit unspeakable crimes.

We urge you to invite consumer witnesses to the September 26 hearing.

Thank you for your continuing commitment to keep NASA apolitical.

Consumers have been hit by the misuse of their personal information and by data breaches all over the place.

Well, under current law, the FTC can only bring an enforcement action against a company that violates the terms of its own public policy or its own public privacy policy.

The question is not whether or not you want to work with Congress.

Seems to me that protecting consumer privacy ought to be an easy answer.

In far too many cases, Americans' personal information is exploited, not protected.

So is that a yes, maybe to---- protect consumer privacy?

Investing in NASA is investing in our future.

I believe there's a strong desire by both Republicans and Democrats and by both industry and public interest groups to work in good faith to reach a consensus on a national consumer data privacy law.

we do not understand why the Committee has chosen to exclude the voice of consumers.

The FTC is primarily responsible for protecting consumer privacy in the commercial marketplace. Yet it has a relatively small staff with limited resources.
